Didn't our stable genius leader say that the non-war was "very complete"....two weeks ago?

Give him a break - they're going to release their healthcare plan any day now.

Their plan is just the word “healthcare” scribbled on a used piece of tissue paper.

Yep. Concepts of a plan.

They'll have a book as thick as a dictionary to wave around so Trump can have a photo op with the plan and shake hands, and the book will be blank.

> Give him a break - they're going to release their healthcare plan any day now. Would that be after or before their infrastructure plan, which appears to include paying a Dutch company ~1bn not to build a windfarm we had contracted them to build?

He's also calling for help from allies he doesn't need and who apparently don't do anything even when we do turn up. So your guess is as good as mine.

Gooch222 Mar 24, 2026 +8
You mean the non-war to rid Iran of the nuclear capabilities they totally destroyed just a few months ago? This administration simply doesn’t care about lies and hypocrisy. They’re going to do whatever they want and leave it to their propagandists to sell it to the world. The same liars at Fox News et al. who were just quibbling about what is and isn’t “boots on the ground” will pretend that discussion never happened and start talking about supporting the deployed troops.

MagicBoyUK Mar 24, 2026 +5
Your stable genius leader said they obliterated the Iranian nuclear program in June 2025. So either what he said last June was a lie, or what he's been saying the last couple weeks is all lies.

Marines are probably also better trained at threat assessment and appropriate use of force too. I don’t see a marine breaking a tourist’s wrist over a water bottle with a Palestinian flag sticker on it.

No, but it’s a good example. It’s also a slight callback to that marine who had his wrist broken by a congressperson for protesting the Iran war.

reala728 Mar 24, 2026 +3
It really is pretty crazy that there is such a massive discrepancy with these groups. Military members are still by and large considered highly respected and we don't want to see them go to war. But nearly everyone would be happy to let ICE try their cowboy shit overseas, and deal with the consequences themselves.

They do, when fair is defined as pinning a disarmed person down and executing them.

>Send ICE: Agreed, they absolutely cannot help themselves when it comes to brutalizing brown people or people who have a touch more melanin than albinos >I heard they love a fair fight Negative. The only fight ICE loves is when they've outnumbered someone 8 to 1 and their opponent won't fight back even after being repeatedly beaten with an ASP or a pepper spray container. Even the most enthusiastic member of the Trumpian Gestapo has enough brain cells to rub together to know the IRGC would have little issue popping their domes for target practice or mulching their organs because their "Level 4" plates have all been sourced from the same shady TEMU vendor the Russians use to equip their bullet sponges.

This is heading towards being the greatest travesty of our time. A ground invasion of Iran is a suicide mission. People don’t realize how big and rugged Iran is. Landing on the beach and trying to take Tehran would be like landing in LA and trying to take Salt Lake City. Crossing over mountain ranges and deserts, and how do logistics and supply lines work? This is a disaster unfolding right before our eyes.

Ok Nick Fuentes followers. Listen up it's time to enlist. America needs angry young men that will never marry and never reproduce to save America. You've been playing video games about it,  now do it for real. Nothing proves you're a man than signing up for combat.

Trump doesn't mind though, he said he's not a afraid of anything. He's itching to tell Gold Star parents "he/she knows what they signed up for" again. Afterwards, he can call up Hegseth in his make-up booth at the Pentagon and call them "suckers and losers", maybe take questions from the media on the golf course and tell them "I prefer soldiers that don't get caught". Absolutely f****** amazing how people voted for and continue to support this rotting excuse for a person.

Particular-Ice4615 Mar 24, 2026 +3
Sorry you guys simply didn't collectively try hard enough despite knowing how dire the stakes were to convince the rest of us otherwise. No matter what you say Trump is the perfect representation of American excesses that reflects of what it's true societal ideals and priorities are. He is truly a leader representative of the true face of your diseased society that's been spoiled by its geography. A society that completely squandered instead of improve what you inherited that better men than yourselves gave to you. A Society who continues to abuse the freedom given to you since it's founding with 0 sense of collective responsibility to each other that is sustained at the complete expense of the rest of the world all culminating to the bed you've collectively shat in.  Let's dissect who is Trump? The spoiled failson of an openly racist, billionaire landlord who whose entire success was driven purely by personality, marketing, and inherited wealth, over any true merit and hard work that the American dream invented by American propaganda allegedly sells its self as unique to the rest of the world as. You can't describe to me anything more uniquely American than that whether you like the truth or not.
